Hi, The databases in both the paths you specified are the same. I just moved it around from "Program Files" path to check if the space in the folder name was creating a problem.
I have modified the connection string to the below one as suggested by you. <dataSource name="Firebird1.7" connectionString="DataSource=localhost;Port=3050;User=SYSDBA;Password=masterkey;database=C:\\WebSites\\WebSite1\\DB\\EMPLOYEE.FDB;Role=;Connection lifetime=30;Pooling=true;Packet Size=8192;Charset=UNICODE_FSS;"/> Have tried User, UserId and User Id. Have also tried with a single "\" in the path. Have also tried with a "/". The iMapper has also been modified to a single line of code now. I have not yet changed the iBatis source. Is that necessary? I now get a different error which is posted below. Any idea what is wrong with the connection string? ******** Error Start******** An invalid connection string argument has been supplied or a required connection string argument has not been supplied. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
